This is my first trip to Thailand and am traveling alone. It was great to feel well cared for by Alex and his family. He always responded quickly and sent a driver to get me from the airport. He did misquote the price to me, but took responsibility for the mistake which I appreciated.
The pictures look a bit nicer than it is in reality, but it is very clean, the shower is warm (rumor has it you don’t always get warm showers in Thailand) and this shower is in its own room which is nice. Often the shower is with the toilet, like where I’m staying now and many pictures I’ve seen.
The A/C is a bit loud so bring ear plugs. And when heavy vehicles drive by the bed shakes like its a small earthquake.
Alex’s sister in law was there most in the mornings and always greeted me with a big smile, yogurt and oranges. She also helped me get motorcycle taxis and a taxi to the airport when I left.
All in all, it was a good experience. Bangkok was very polluted when I was there, but if I ever go back, I would stay there again.
Oh one other thing, you can’t really cook in the kitchen. There is a refrigerator and microwave, but no stove. So you can heat leftovers, but that’s about it.
Enjoy!
